"Whatever
Happened to the Future!"
Mark Vallen 1980
Signed Silkscreen print
15" x 16" inches - $100
Here's
what Vallen said about his artwork:
"When
I created this print people had began to wonder aloud about
the future and their stake in it. Suddenly, the chilling
refrain of the Sex Pistols 'No Future' began to have
a ring of truth to it. Now
we're in the 21st Century, and strangely enough the same
question is still being asked. Originally a street poster,
my artwork was eventually published as a popular cover for
the L.A. Weekly newspaper in 1980 - the year
of the poster's creation."
Vallen's
print is included in Under
the Big Black Sun: California Art 1974-1981, a comprehensive
survey of California artists held at the MOCA Geffen Contemporary
in L.A., Oct. 1 2011 through Feb. 13, 2012.
